Software and Graphics

888 Poker creates a smooth graphic experience within a highly usable environment. The options are relentlessly customizable, in a good way. Label opponents with icons, like a shark, so you have a reminder the next time you play them. There are numerous options for how you want to set up each table, from minimalist to super detailed graphics options.

Separate lobbies for beginners through experts are available, making sure your experience fits your desired level. Play with 3-D graphics and use the always visible cashier. 888 now has added a no-download client for Mac and Linux users.

Tournaments and Freerolls

888's special tournament lobby tells you who is still going in tournaments. The lobby also lists all upcoming satellites, to make sure you are up on when to qualify. A one click registration process makes the experience seamless.

The tournaments are often shockingly loose, though that doesnt make getting through a thousand players any easier.

Game Variety

888's game variety is about average, with Texas Holdem, Omaha High, Omaha Hi/Low, Seven Card Stud and Seven Card Stud High/Low. No-Limit pots are only available for Texas Holdem games. Peak Hours usually brings about 2,000 ring game players and 8,000 tournament players
